Phreak has gotten really entertaining as a caster, imo.

Tankier teams seem to be kind of on the stronger side lately, especially in games like that where they don't last too long. I think if Jax and Twitch had gotten more time to get farmed and they'd kept an eye on Lee (who just got to have free reign of everything), that would have been a wildly different game.

That said, Fear got stomped rightly, I don't think they're good enough to pull off the types of games they want to play.

Besides the most hardcore TSM fans, I'm pretty sure most of us have caught on to how weak NA teams are by now in comparison to the world, so I wouldn't say these teams are overrated.

Also gogogo Crs! Show the world that you can stomp fellow NA teams just like TSM and CLG!

Nyjacky Morgana is definitely ban worthy. In any case, if anyone knew how to beat Morgana hard, it's Nyjacky being that he knows her so well

Also what do you expect the guy to do. It's not the right to way come into a competition thinking you're gonna be raped by everyone, even if that's what is likely to happen.

Pretty much. Any dig fans that consistently watch them are more surprised when they manage not to throw a game from an early lead than when they do (I know I am). The teams are probably still overrated by the people who don't watch the asian or EU scenes at all, but for anyone who's keeping track of tournaments, NA teams definitely aren't rated highly.

Honestly I think it's even gotten to the point where people underrate NA teams. If they have a good day the top 4 can still take a game of any team.

While I wouldn't state it in absolute terms myself, I agree with sentiment... which sucks, cause I love rooting for underdog teams with the potential for upsets... it's just a problem when they play with a mindset like they are clear favorites, when they're really not. Still love fear tho, hoping they can pull out the 2-1... and then show an entertaining couple of games vs M5.

edit: curse are definitely stronger than TSM right now and maybe stronger than dignitas, too.


People still tend to rank Curse behind TSM, Dig and CLG.NA though.

Things will be fun when Curse manages to win vs CLG.NA in a major tournament. I'd love to see that happen, just for the drama.

You might get your wish, if I'm reading the bracket right, if CLG loses to Curse.Eu and Curse beats TD they will play in the second round of the losers bracket.

Phreak and Jatt are a pretty good combo. I was pretty impressed yesterday, especially as at one point Phreak humbly accepted he was wrong about something when Jatt corrected him.

Deman and Joe are still the best though.

Also, my bracket predictions:

FeaR maybe got some humility now, they're picking a far more conservative lineup.

Curious what are the stats on champions like Lulu/Diana/Lee Sin.

Apparently yesterday, out of 21 games, Lee Sin was either banned/picked 19 times, and Diana was picked/banned ALL 21 times.

I think Rhux is a pretty decent support for Curse.NA tbh.

A lot of people are starting to realize that he seems to be an improvement over Elementz. I can't say I blame everyone's apprehension though, the idea of someone winning a 1v1 tournament who mains top lane taking over the support position from a pro with tons of experience (regardless of his skill level) sounds pretty out there.

i was certain that this would be how rhux would play and get received as soon as i heard of his acceptance into crs. He has far more talent than elementz, but being an unknown only the more open minded of crs fans would look beyond his initial seemingly few differences will elementz to look at his greater skill objectively. I think he'll be recognized as a superior support in time but his lack of personality relatively speaking means it will take him some time to become a fan favorite.
